Friday Email: 05 May 2023

Every Friday morning our lead analyst Mark Riding sends out his weekly run-down and upcoming events in the investor calendar, like this one:

The FTSE 100 is down 97 points (1.24%) The S&P 500 is down 1.66% and the Stoxx 600 is down 0.53%. It has been a bad few weeks for the markets as US banking fears persist.

The past week continued very much as it has over recent weeks with the US declaring their quarterly dividends and the UK and Europe mainly making trading statements with a few quarterly dividend announcements including BP and Shell. 

Next week which is another short week, continues to be quiet.

Going ex dividend this coming Thursday with yields in excess of 3% from the single dividend we have Reach Plc (5.4%), Petershill Partners (5.3%), TBC Bank (4%) Headlam (3.8%) and Epwin for 3.7%.
